The New life in Christ: Now as you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness, and in love-also excel in this generous undertaking. 2Corinthians 8:7.

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and will be repaid in full. Proverbs 19:17.

If you close your ear to the cry of the poor, you will cry out and not be heard. Proverbs 21:13.

Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse. Proverbs 28:27.

Amen.
